MAURICE PRICE, OF NEW YORK, N.. Y.

SHIRT.

S'BECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,588, datedNovember 14, 1882.

Application tiled August 24, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, MAURICE PRICE, of New York city, county and State ofNew York, have invented an Improvement in Shirts, of which the followingis a specification.

Figure lis a face view ot' my improved shirt; Fig. 2, a horizontalsection of the same on the line c c, Fig. 1.

This invention relates to a new manner of constructing lthe front orbosom part of a shirt in connection with the parts that adjoin thebosom; and it consists in making the bosom ot' a shirt in one piece withthe two 1re-enforcing wings or sides thereof, that are Iattached to thebody ot' the shirt in front.

In the drawings, the letter A represents the body of the shirt, made ofcotton fabric or of other suitable fabric.

B is the bosom, made of linen,wool, or other suitable fabric.

U C are the re-enforcin g sides, placed over the hody ot' the fabric infront, next to the bosom. Now, my invention consists in making these twore-eni'orcing sides, C G,and the bosom B all in one single piece, as isfully shown in Fig. 2. The bosom can be distinguished from the reenforcing Wings or sides C U by suitable plaits, a a, into which thefabric is folded at the juncture of these parts, and the bosom may alsohave one or more plaits, b, formed in it, asindicated.

By means of this improvement the shirt is made much stronger, the bosomis not liable to wear out at the edges, the owner need not at all timeswear a waistcoat, and will still present a proper garment beneath thecoat, particularly when the shirt is made ot patterned material incolors, and material and labor are saved to a considerable extent thatwould otherwise be required in making the re-enforcing sides separatefrom the bosom and joining them by stitches. In addition to this, there-eni'orcing sides C C, made in one piece with the bosom, strengthenthe shirt materially, as they extend up to the shoulder parts ot theshirt, and therefore brace the entire garment.

I claiml. A shirt having the bosom B and the reenforcing Wings or sidesC C, all made of one continuous piece of fabric, substantially as shownand described.

2. The shirt having bosom B and re-enforcing Wings or sides C C, allmade in one piece, and intervening plaits e a, substantially as hereinshown and described.

MAURICE PRICE.
